Tessarini
Carlo Tessarini (c.1690–c.1766) was an Italian violinist and composer whose biography is almost entirely a blank despite a published output of remarkable scale. First recorded as a violinist at St Mark's in Venice in 1720, he worked at the Ospedale dei Derelitti and the cathedral at Urbino before travelling to Paris, London, and the Netherlands. He left behind at least seventy symphonies, ninety concertos, and a hundred and forty chamber works, published forty editions between 1721 and 1766, and was popular in his time. Why the historical record is so nearly silent about him remains, as one source puts it, a mystery.
